Initial Set-up
Power Requirements
This merchandiser requires power as shown in the following table. NOTE: Each
merchandiser should have its own electrical circuit.
Power Requirem ents
CountryVoltsFrequency (Hz)Current (Amps)
U.S., Mexico, and Canad a1156020
International2305013 - 16
This merchandiser is suppl ied with a service cord for the coun tr y of use and is terminated i n a grounding t ype plug. The wall receptacle used for this merc handiser
must be properly polarized, grounded, and of the correct voltage. Operating the
merchandis er f rom a sour ce of l ow voltage will VOID YOUR WARRANTY. Each
merchandiser should have its own electrical circuit and that circuit should be pro
tected with a circuit breaker or fuse conforming to local regulations.
-
Voltage C h ec k - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE (LIVE) and NEUTRAL terminals of the wall receptac le. The voltmeter should indi cate 110-130
volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220-240 volts ac for 230 volt, 50 Hz loca
tions.
Polarity Check - Place the leads of a voltmeter across the LINE (LIVE) and
GROUND terminals of the wall re cept acle . The vol tmeter shoul d indi cate 110-130
volts ac for 120 volt, 60 Hz locations, or 220-240 volts ac for 230 volt, 50 Hz loca
tions.
Noise Po tent ia l Ch e ck - Place t he lead s of a vo ltm eter ac ross t he NEUTRAL and
GROUND terminals of the wall receptacle. The voltmeter should indicate 0 volts
ac. A measurement gre ater than 1.5-2.0 vol ts ac could result in probl em s for the
merchandiser's electr onic circuitry ca used by electrica l noi se.
Any deviation from these requirements could result in unreliable performance
from your merchandiser.
Water Requirements
If your location has chemically softened water, one of the following steps is
advised:
•Have a non-softened supply line run to the merchandiser
-
-
•Contact your local water filter supplier for in formation and suggestions
Well wat er can also be used in the Cold Drink Center. However, you should have
it checke d for levels of carbonates and alkali es. Contact your water filter supplier
if these values are relatively high.
Water Pressure
Minimum water pr essure: 20 psi (138.0 KPa) at 1/2 gal lon/minute
Maximum water pressure: 80 psi (522.0 KPa) at 1/ 2 gallon/minute
3280020Page 1August, 2003
Cold Dri n k Center (327/328) Operator’ s Guide
Supply Line Requirements
Locate suppl y li ne at the rear of the merchandi ser.
Equip the line wi th a shut -off valve.
Flushing Water Supply Line
Flush the water supply line before con necting it to the merchandiser. A minimum
of five gall ons is usually requir ed before connecting the merchandiser to the sup
ply line. To avoid introducing possible water line contaminant s int o the merchandiser, DO NOT flush the merchandiser water system.
Positioning The Merchandiser
You can pos it ion this merchandiser anywhere in a bank of machines. It can even
be placed on the end flush against a side wall.
Leave enough room in front of the merchandiser for the door to move freely.
BE SURE THE REAR OF THE MERCHANDISER IS AT LEAST 6" AWAY FROM
THE WALL. THIS WILL ENSURE W ARM MOIST AIR IS VENTED OUT OF THE
MACHINE'S INTERIOR AND THE REFRIGERATOR CONDENSER FAN I S NOT
OBSTRUCTED.
-
NOTE
This machine is only rated for installation i n an indoor location.

Programming The Cold Drink Center
Getting Around
Getting around the Cold Drink Center software is pretty easy once you know the
feature s that are avai lable to you, and how to use them. The thr ee main par ts you
will use are the SER VICE KEYPAD, the SELECTION SWITCH PANEL, and the
DISPLAY.
The Service Keypad
For most of your programming jobs,
you will be using t he service keypad,
conveniently located on the monet ary
panel. The service keypad has 16
keys. The three columns on the left
are the MODE keys. The right hand
column contains the MOVEMENT
keys.
he Selection Switch Panel
The selection switch panel is also
located on the monetary panel. Unlike
the service keypad, it is accessible
when the cabine t door is closed.
These are the keys the customer will
use to make select ions. You can also
use these keys during programming
procedures.

Other Keys
The MOVEMENT keys on the control pan el let you move i nside a mode, and back
and forth between modes.

These keys are your " legs", which let you move up and
down the list of ta sks. They let you continue from one step
to the next in programming procedures.
This is your "activate" or "choose" key. It "opens a door" to
additional information and lets you begin a programming
task once you are insi de of a mode. Sometimes, it is used
as a toggle switch to show you your choices during a programming task.
This key can be used before running a function, or to
choose “ALL” in a multiple selection.
This is your "end" key. Pressing it one or more times will
move you back to the start of the mode, or all the way back
to the standby message.

Cold Drink Cente r (327/ 328 ) Op er ato r’s Gu ide
SureVend™
SureVend™ ensures that a cup is always available in the cup station before any
money is coll ected or product deli vered. The sensing system is a beam of i nfra
red light across the cup station that is brok en by the cup when it falls into position.
The SureVend™ software m onitors the cup stati on sensor during the time the cup
ring is cycled and for three seconds afterward. If a cup is not detected, the soft
ware will first determine if a second cu p ri ng with the same size cups exists and
will then try t o drop a c up f rom the s econd ring. If t he second ring al so fail s to dr op
a cup or is not usabl e, the so ftwa re will repeat the atte mpt from th e first cup ring to
attempt to cl ear any jams i n the cup del ivery area . Each ring will be tr ied up to two
times. If a cup is st il l not detected by the inf rared sensor then sev eral things hap
pen:
• Any ring that failed twice in a row is placed temporarily out-of-service for a
length of time t hat is determined by the user,
• The customer' s credit is either restored for another vend att em pt or is

message if desired (se e
Special rules exist to protect both the customer and the operator from loss. First
and foremost, the customer is protected because no drin k is spoiled nor money
lost becau se a cup fails to fall to the cup st ation. The customer is gi ven every
chance to get hi s ori ginal choice of cup size by trying at least twice per ring to
eject a cup. If two rings are availabl e with the same cup si ze, the system will alter
nately try to vend a cup from each ring until the cup is delivered or both rings are
placed out-of-service.
The operator is protect ed by the anti-jack pot progr am of the syst em. It is conc eivable that a customer could prevent cups from reaching the sensing area of the
cup station in order to steal the cups and then get a refund for the vend. Under
the SureVend™ Anti-Jackpot system, the operator can lose no more than two
cups in a row per ring. Then that ring is temporarily placed out-of-service both to
protect the cu stome r and t o discou rag e thef t. T he amoun t o f time that the cup r ing
is out-of-service is program ma ble from 0 to 99 minutes. After th e ti me has
elapsed , the cup ri ng will ret urn to ser vice but the count of the two fail ures is ke pt.
If the previous problem was theft, then the next vend attempt from that ring will be
successful and the count of the two previous failures will be erased. If the prob
lem is an actual system failure, then the third failure will permanently place that
cup ring out of service until a service technician visits the machine.
